I love me a badass female assassin. Samara is my lead, and she is not to be toyed with. Yes, she gave up her assassin life, but that doesn't mean you want to cross her. The Order of Grimm is available everywhere in ebook, print and audio. #indieauthor #fantasyheist #fantasy #booksky

The Butcher of the Forest by @premeemohamed.com was great. A mix of fairytale and horror with an utterly devastating emotional core.

ACX sold royalty share as a way for authors to get their audiobook made for free. And yes, that is true, but it doesn't mean that every book can attract a narrator for RS. These are the things that I look at when I consider royalty share. #narrator #audiobooks #indieauthor

If you've read The Order of Grimm, you know I like me a found family trope. Ah, the motley crew, that bickers but comes together in the end. Here are some of my favourites. Interestingly, a lot of these are in the fantasy heist genre! #foundfamily #fantasyheist #indieauthor #booksky

please explain why it's legal for a multi-billion dollar corporation to repackage the internet and sell it back to ppl for the cost of the environment, the economy, our privacy, our creativity, our cognition, and our country. yeah. i know. it's bc the crooks pulling the con are billionaires.

People may not know this about me but I'm a nature nut. In fact, it was while crossing the Drake Passage that I conceived my debut novel. So this article about gentoo penguins (which I got to see there) being actually four distinct species is really cool. www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...

Research represents evidence that the gentoo penguin is actually four genetically distinct species.

This one is a bit more shamelessly promo than normal, but honestly authors, if you want to know that you're working with a human narrator, look for us that have been doing it awhile. #indieauthor #audiobook #narrator #humanvoices #mychoiceisahumanvoice

the end isn't inevitable. we can do something but we have to stop actively destroying our planet and its future as our home.

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

It's been a while since I posted about my my fantasy heist books and this is a very cute trend I've been meaning to get in on. When people ask what The Order of Grimm is about, I always tell them it's Ocean's Eleven meets Snow White. #indieauthor #fantasyheist #booksky #audiobooks

I know a lot of authors are considering going wide with the new Audible royalty model, so here are a few of the wide distributor options you can choose from. Of course, one of the best channels you can use, is your own website Got any questions for me? Reach out! #indieauthors #audiobooks #booksky

I posted this on Threads, but I should say this here too. In light of the new D2D AI narration news, this is just a quick reminder that according to the Audio Publishers Association listener willI guess to try AI narrations dropped 9% and only 16% have ever even listened to AI audiobooks. #booksky

Last March at ECCC I met Winter Hansen. I was there for Grimm but she learned I narrated Rakesfall which she was listening to at the time. Cut to 6 months later, we have an audiobook of her new book, narrated by myself and my long-time pal Pearl Hewitt. This is the Magic of human audio. #narrator

Did I go on a deep dive into how Victorian era dockyards work for a throwaway scene to keep my characters occupied, which is now twice as long as planned? Oh yes! I can't say that book 3 will feature the dockyards much, but at least now I Know the term "lumper". #indieauthor #books #fantasyheist

Sooo, as a narrator, I am obviously all for human voices. With that said, if you're an author doing a kickstarter for the audiobook, send it my way and I will attempt to amplify the message. #humanvoices #narrator #indieauthor

Why are audiobooks to expensive to make? Are they expensive? What are the hidden costs and benefits? I've seen too many people talk about paying $100-200PFH for an aduiobook, which is ridiculously low. Here's where that money goes. #indieauthor #audiobooks #narrator

i’m serious. if you want to fuck over the whole ai business model, support the library of congress. stealing all the books, poems, art, film… every creative thing supposedly copyright protected feeding it to ai for profit? turns out that’s not fair use. apnews.com/article/copy...

I've had a few authors this week talk about how they've made an audiobook but it's not selling as much as they expected. So I thought now would be a good time to look at audiobook sales. Got any other questions for me related to audiobook production? #narrator #indieauthor #audiobooks

This is just a reminder that fantasy narration is my specialty. These are just some of the books I've narrated. Thanks to the many publishers trusting me with these authors words. And if you're an indie author who writes fantasy? Let's talk. #audiobooks #fantasy #narrator

I'm putting this out there in the universe so perhaps the folks at @simonaudio.bsky.social see this, one day I want to narrate a book by Sarah Langan. Every time I read one of her books, I'm left thinking about it for days. Plus, it would be cool to narrate some more horror. #narrator

I have a newsletter! in it you can find sneak peeks of my writing, my edrudite observations about the world 😂 and get a behind-the-scenes look at the life of an audiobook narrator and author. The link is in my linktree! #indiebooksky #narrator

If you've ever wondered about whether you should make your audiobook dual or duet, here are my thoughts as a narrator of 12 years. #indiebooksky #indieauthor

Happy release to this beautiful book of short stories. If you're looking for speculative stories that will touch you deep inside and make you think, this is one I highly recommend. Thanks and @blackstonepub.bsky.social for casting me. Thanks meghana Mysore for your beautiful words. #narrator

Yes, I am putting off writing by posting about my 10,000 word milestone. It still counts. #fantasyheist #writinglife #booksky
